Audio Visual Integration for experiential retail.
Samsung KX Redefines the traditional retail format with a multi-sensory, community-driven destination.
It’s not a shop. Spread over 20,000 sq. ft., Samsung KX redefines the traditional retail format with a multi-sensory, community-driven destination.
The delivery of immersive experiences rely on the efficacy of audio-visual engineering – cabling and infrastructure, equipment and installation, programming and customisation, flexibility and futureproofing.
Samsung’s new experience space at ‘Coal Drops Yard’, the brand-new shopping and lifestyle district in King’s Cross, London.
The objective is to showcase the full Samsung ecosystem- how multiple devices and services come together to deliver a complete and harmonised experience.
Guests are among the first in the world to experience Samsung’s latest technologies and innovation through a range of awe-inspiring experiences, events, skill-sharing workshops, simulated environments (such as smart homes, connected kitchens and integrated in-car experiences of the future).
ScreenMax LED Wall
Samsung IF015H 1.5mm pixel pitch LED Modules in a curved configuration with suitable pixel canvasing from a Green Hippo Taiga+ server to split the content resolution of 6720×2880 onto the display.
Capable of 4K movie content (with 7.1 audio via JBL cinema speakers) for the 60-seater audience (expandable to 80), it can also run store content and the graffiti mode (Galaxy Graffiti). A host of BlackTrax tracking cameras provide X and Y positions on the wall.
Distributed Audio and DANTE
Audio is a critical component supported by a wide array of high-end, professional JBL and Martin Audio surround sound loudspeakers and subwoofers, Crown amplifiers and BSS Soundweb DSP in the MER/SER racks. Dante networked audio input/output devices is deployment-ready at multiple locations for future expansion.
ZeeVee Zyper4K AVoIP System: Content Distribution Network (CDN)
Uncompressed 4K UHD video is distributed over a dedicated 10Gb OS2 single mode fibre LAN with a single core in the MER. The ZeeVee Zyper4K UHD encoders/decoders are connected at each of the following CDN endpoint locations.
Green Hippo Servers
There are three Green Hippo Taiga+ servers located in the MER to share files & content on a private 10Gb network (HippoNet) and controlled using the Hippotizer software.
Video sources from ZeeVee decoders are taken into 4K UHD capture cards in the Green Hippo Taiga+ units. Professional, production quality 4K UHD playback and capability for editing, visual effects, show production & scheduling, capture of video inputs, Samsung experiences, live camera feeds and pixel mapping on the ScreenMax LED wall.
BrightSign System
